Chapter 13
After the unnerving meeting with8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzrANLmXVr
Veyar, again, Vander tucked Mari into her bed and quietly left so he didn’t8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDKUKQ7zNU
disturb anyone in the apartment. Once he arrived at the bottom of the steps,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5UBajbJPr
her guards handed him back his sword while the Blades bowed to both him and8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcQ0UphAjZ
Shea. Then he headed back to his old room.
He hated that he was now8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNQK1iQRM8
practically confined to the castle, but he knew it came from a place of care.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCBASvVP8
This was the second time in as many weeks he had been attacked, and even though8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2tI6X4BoX
he hadn’t been harmed this time, the fact that he had been so blatantly8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI8Y4HtyJz
targeted meant he was in danger no matter what. He was lucky to have Alex8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyiDhOmZTe
watching his back, but if the assassins were smart, they would wait until he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckbJC4dFAe
was alone during the festivities to celebrate the prince’s marriage while8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U7lJ1Qltl
everyone was distracted. It’s what he would do. But for now, he had to focus on8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbfTSi0Sw5
getting the recruits ready. Despite what his grandfather thought, they were8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4koKG8zme
better off being used rather than left to the side. If things were going the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX37dCqg6D
way he expected they would, they would have to be ready sooner rather than8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr0JhEHSUz
later.
The five recruits stood in front8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkggsaxCM8t
of him, each admiring the new swords he had given to them from the Blade8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCaoWgi5sH
armory. They would be the exact swords they would be given upon graduating, but8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtqQbDUJF9
Vander had gone to Charles early in the morning, shortly before meeting them8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUoB8qY2Fh
for the training session and begged him to allow them to train with their8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzdnfYXhoz
actual swords just in case. They argued for a little while before the older man8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd5QWvLVcN
finally relented under the condition that he come to see how they were doing.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIY2PDFbH
Vander agreed and now Charles was standing between him and Alex looking the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNPQKuOIzs
recruits over with a critical eye.
“These swords will be your8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7yQPgohUh
livelihood.” Vander instructed as he paced in front of the recruits as they8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8u9ucbDna
stared down at their weapons with a mixture of awe and fear. “They are made8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO8MzprEI4
with viriuum from the Northern Mountains. They will not bend; they will not8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMo7LMam3g
break. They were created with your abilities in mind, they are an extension of8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjGcCEdUsM
you and need to be treated with respect.”
“I thought we were supposed to get8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGP1J0jBEW
these only when we became full Blades.” Rooster asked. “Or, at the very least,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY4oRA1bST
trainees, why do we have them now?”
“Circumstances may allow you to be8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQm7MCWJK2
graduated early.” Charles stepped up. “You’ve heard about the attacks on the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCWI5AhcUa
castle and in the city. You might be needed early than originally planned, but8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVpxjXEVBO
first you must prove to me you deserve the chance.” Forest and Briar grinned8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBAf1ATf1k
like a couple of idiots.
“What do we have to do?” They8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQharLofytm
asked in unison. To everyone’s surprise, aside from Vander’s, Charles unbuckled8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jkFmeFB9S
his sword then tossed it to Alex.
“You will have to8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0seDo4Hwl
fight against me.” Then he removed his jacket and tossed it to Vander. Despite8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iCoJaBKFu
how old he was, he was still an absolute unit of a man. His arms were thick8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuRlbOQLqS
from his years of fighting and training recruits as well as having the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1l1d54IQq
knowledge of fighting packed into his head. Despite all the times Vander had8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwx5ih4pGD
challenged him since he was old enough to wear the uniform, he had never beaten8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIJKCpujIV
him, not once.
“One at a time or8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz1Sr3nTrC
altogether?” Rooster asked.
“However, you8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bYkS8OtQO
want.” Charles grinned. “Weapons are allowed, so just try and make this8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyO8dBFGJ4
entertaining for me.” The recruits emboldened by the challenge rose to their8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh1XVSo3cb
feet.
Forever the good8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNE1pFeOqb
sport, Rooster sheathed his sword, carefully placing his jacket on the ground8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkUPpspm6W
and putting the sword on top. He stretched for a second before charging at his8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAJK1b1P6X
Commander. He threw his weight around Charles’s middle to get him onto his8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD2lo1UpTD
back, but Charles stood his ground. He brought his fists up then hammered them8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IvxLyhspB
down in Rooster’s back. When his grip weakened, Charles brought his knee up8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwob424oBjS
into Rooster’s stomach then flipped him around, so he hit the ground hard. He8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIHE57JjP9
went to stamp down on Rooster’s stomach, but he rolled away.
Rooster had taken8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15tDY41Oyt
damage, that much was certain. He staggered back to his feet then spit out a8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ48aPNfy3
wad of blood. Grinning, he raised his fists in front of him, but Vander could8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DcGegnXkS
tell he didn’t have much left in him. His legs were shaking, and it was taking8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMT4S2da9E
all his energy just to stand. However, he should have stayed down. Charles8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0L3hxGiE
didn’t go easy on anyone; Vander knew that firsthand. Charles didn’t hesitate.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFuajBfA87
He began throwing punch after punch at Rooster. At first, he did a good job8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxDGHB25Q7
blocking, but it was like defending against a hammer. His arms became heavy,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDejol1bDge
and he could no longer block many of the blows. He started taking strikes to8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ryAWbWCRz
his face and chest. Rooster’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, but he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLFiBNnDgy
stayed standing. Charles threw another punch but once he noticed Rooster’s8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsBPkltaIG
condition, he stopped. A second later he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh44Ybxs68
fell to the ground unconscious.
Charles didn’t8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM7O5cuXah
look bothered by beating up a recruit, but based on the admiration in his eye,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMs56ul8L3
Rooster passed. That just left the other four. As usual, Forest and Briar8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51w51T8Ed
decided to go after him together. Their teamwork has been a lot better since8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVwcqyU3fr
their trail in the forest, but they would still be no match for Charles.
They went after8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnA6o2yMRf
him, one on each side. Both aimed a punch to his cheek, but he blocked them,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdLVNNvI1X
then grabbed their wrists and pulled them into each other. Their bodies8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbI1LwXjTq
collided with a painful crack. They fell to the ground rubbing their heads8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjEOtLFP01
together. They didn’t stay down for long, they again got up and began8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtZeHiA3WX
assaulting him, but Charles started to move. He made sure to keep himself away8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L94apMdyy
from the two of them, always moving his body so they would get in each other’s8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7zOPyX7OK
way. They got so used to his movements that when he stopped, they kept going.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4QYgKABIy
Charles aimed a kick at Forest’s side which he wasn’t kick enough to move out8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7JtJGEBAa
of the way. He brought his arm up to block, but the kick was too forceful.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm25DyReU3
Forest collided with Briar and Vander was sure his arm was broken. The two of8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjzbNMJSFd
them didn’t get back up.
Charles didn’t8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT6dewU0DX
have time to see If they were alright. Eve came at him with her sword8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq34NvitBeU
unsheathed. He slowly dodged sideways the sword trimmed off a couple of hairs8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIHaPsYkLH
from his head. Not skipping a beat, once she realized she had missed, he turned8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJfEEZuLRb
the blade and went for a horizontal slash aiming for his chest. He blocked the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcJfZNrBf5
strike with his armored boot then slammed it onto the ground. If it was any8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w4BbpA56Z
other metal, it would have snapped in half. She let go of the hilt to throw a8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lLYh2nsqI
punch which he easily blocked. He countered by punching her in the jaw,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmpZyVGNfl
knocking her unconscious.
Vander frowned as8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrP0jTBIM9
he looked at her body. She had lost so easily, but it had also been slobby.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9JBsLacjg
During training in the woods, she was a much better fighter than she showed8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVkAUSTQiX
just now. Was he just blinded or had she intentionally thrown the match with8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiJCk2UMCP
the commander?
Charles got up8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN1Cf8SfRF
and looked over at Chicken who held his gaze. “And what do you have for me?” he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2px9tcfl95
asked her.
“I’m not much of8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsybKPTcBX
a fighter.” She rubbed the back of her head.
“Then what use8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsROLoIouce
are you to me?” he asked. If she was offended by the question she didn’t show8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zkyJ9ihrh
it.
“I have a perfect8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7UHctqc1a
recall and excellent head for tactics.” She explained. “What I could do in the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzgMkQd5Gy
battle is negligible as to what I can do when it comes to planning.” Charles8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mhe2y8Rkw
folded his arms and looked down at her thoughtfully. Then he proceeded to ask8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHFqTuFFCO
her questions ranging from military history all the way to tactics and what she8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC0HDhbfD5
would do in any given situation. If anything, that battle was more tense than8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGTiK920Y
the three he just had with the others. Vander couldn’t even keep track of what8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH1zVvzAmf
was being said. It took a few more minutes before Charles seemed to have been8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxBDJe5QhL
satisfied and came back to collect both his sword and jacket.
“They learned8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUgQhvdI71
quickly these past six months.” Charles said. “Very well, I agree to them8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifmJz4zbMv
becoming trainees, however, make sure that one knows how to fight.” He hooked a8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlefzsdNGI
thumb back towards Chicken who had gone over to check on her brother. “Every8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94pTBVLOYV
Blade must know, even if she spends her time as an advisor. No exceptions.”
“Yes sir.” Vander8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ziaETMwly
bowed.
“I also received8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJyt7Eo6jC
news that the rest of the Warden’s will be arriving today. I want them properly8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYvvDBDHH
dressed and standing behind you once we greet them.”
“It will be8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JaYjQ4qIO
done.” Satisfied, Charles left heading back towards the castle.
∙
It took about8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuefe0lMqZY
thirty minutes for the recruits to awaken after the beating they took at8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHOlAVB9Av
Charles’ hands. Vander quickly checked them for damage, but Charles was precise8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡludoItB0e9
in his fighting. Aside from a few bruised ribs and sore stomachs, they were all8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZejz5FSowk
fine. Once he told them they had passed, they all celebrated by dancing around8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimEtuIfZCJ
and slapping each other on their backs, their pain long forgotten. Vander was8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLob6H1ZNQv
even more surprised that Chicken passed even with her penchant for books8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVf1SfaVpU
instead of fighting. He had told her what the Commander had told him, and she8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3S11Y1YT0
agreed that she had to become better at fighting. She asked for more lessons8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyXyNaUiHy
and Alex agreed. He would be the one to train her. With that done he sent them8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS1U4uokCn
to the dorms so they could get ready for the Warden’s arrival.
He quickly8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReUI5QiyHd
showered then got changed in his dress uniform. His pants were ironed and8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7PNZ7tyR
waiting from when he arrived back. His jacket was neatly pressed with the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEwofPuuGt
creases worked out of it. In a small display container were all the medals he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdBuJDR0ep
had received since joining and they had to be properly pinned on the jacket. It8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FxHTCkK7U
was a lot of work for a couple of hours, but it had to be done or it would8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnithUZwYb
reflect badly upon the King and his grandfather.
He put on his8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FAwdsS2zQ
pants followed by a blue dress shirt then he sat down to polish his boots. Shea8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUBJe0x5rF
sat on the bed watching all of this unfold when her head on top of her paws.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5mFoQuKf
Once his boots were right he placed them on and tied them tightly. He turned8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrbm2yO8g
back to Shea.
“Get down here8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhUMMsJlnG
so I can brush your fur.”
“I don’t want8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH4wTerrWE
to go.” She whined.
“You have to.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnoEDdwBP4
He chided. “You are a Blade, and we are all expected to go. You can sit8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5sUO8SLSH
behind me if you wish, but you will be there. Now get down here.” She8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBjrUoru2J
glared over at him but did as he asked. She sat down in-between his legs as he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMRqvsGY6O
picked up the brush and oil then began combing her. She stayed still for it,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFYxOL7cze
but when he came to a knot she let her displeasure known with a low growl. He8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ngTOgY3C
ignored her and kept going, even though he had to bribe her with more meat in8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpGhg355H1
exchange for not biting his hand. Fair trade.
The two of them8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1yNXcXipZ
made their way down the stairs and towards the castle door. There were Blades8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssbPvcyH0u
standing at attention on both sides of the red carpet where the Wardens would8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m1Rwuo6fg
walk once they arrived. They would go to the throne room where they would meet8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshZ1nzlMCD
with the others and the council to discuss the wedding and their roles in it,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtULTfGrQBt
and maybe some matters of state. It was rare that outsides would be allowed in,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2N077pFqH
and Vander wasn’t an exception.
Shea and Vander8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O24KJSABG
took their positions next to Charles, standing to his left, because the King8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtUppoIDgN
was to the right. All the ranking Blades stood next to him while the council8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8hNVjtyb6
members stood on the King’s right side. Mari Drayson and her daughter stood8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1OZLTeMiT
between the King and Viggo Visc, per the custom when any other Warden was in8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS7GpFtyTA
the city. Peyton stood to Viggo’s right while Bernard stood in the door way. To8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOSN5l367g
the front, in between each, stood a soldier who would protect the council with8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmJtdSjK0D
their lives if it came down to it, only the King was left unprotected, as it8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAaCyitcw1
was ceremonial, but also the job of a Blade to risk their lives for the King. Shea8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI55E27ShR
took her spot behind Vander but would be ready to act in case her friend’s life8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah3pG7uhiF
was in danger. They didn’t have long to wait before the sounds of the drums8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibD3aL8XpY
were heard from the Western Gates.
Even though the wardens8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfnjo0qo0U
came from the north, west, and south, the western gate was the closest point8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AKX8kkhCu
between the three, so their entire entourage met there and walked through the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn1hOulAVQ
streets until they reached the King. As the citizens were given enough of a8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0dCxDpZOE
warning, the streets were closed in celebration. Vander could hear the cheers8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamiFX7NcT
all the way from where he stood, the noise made his sensitive ears hurt, but he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGaRPSfPgz
had to stand strong, or others would get suspicious. It took nearly an hour for8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDCKsa55B
the Warden’s to make their way to the inner ring, but their entrance was extravagant.
The first warden8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpCcu1wjaJ
to appear was Jira Jewelthorne, the Western Warden. He had short black hair and8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJVsZx12Gy
black eyes. He wore extravagant and expensive clothing: today he wore opulent8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGjNVrokh4
gold with red trim. His fingers were adorned with silver and gold rings with various8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF1007GNOH
gemstones imbedded inside of them. He had no standing army. Instead, he hired8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgWKHwqC96
mercenaries to protect his kingdom. There was a small squad of ten flaking his8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zrtNS7wqC
horse as he rode. The Blades assigned to protected him were behind them and it8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcNbfELRlz
appeared as though they were holding chains for a man walking between them.
Right behind him8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jm07DkP9u
came Leida Valariyan, the ruler of Stormcrag. Despite her young age, the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJYaXl2jGj
youngest of all the wardens, the weather made her cold and unyielding. She sat8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sSuP5Rplx
stony faced upon her horse, her salt gray hair tied back in a ponytail, her8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAQEP5fYMb
green eyes looking straight at the King. She was a warrior through and through.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhbTmbyTUV
The only person she brought with her was8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V5tHs5SQ0
her cloaked fighter, Drakon, No one knew what he looked like underneath that8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX7SYC6RUL
ratty black cloak, even Vander’s eyes couldn’t pierce the shadows. Whoever he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoA8T34hJO
was, he was enchanted. Five Blades with terrified expressions followed behind8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUFZE1eDpK
her. Charles would have to give them the next week off to recover.
The final warden8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKs76tbgdN
was Malakai Whitesun. He exuded power and strength. In wars past he was the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu6vcZAmOC
King’s most trusted confidant, and it was due to his family that the rest of8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlfaqyjJXy
Eluvia was safe from Bricen’s attacks. His entire body was tanned from living8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1cPrM12tl
down there and due to the heat he kept his head shaved. He wore a white vest,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeRf8LYhzc
with nothing else on underneath, and white poofy pants that allowed him to stay8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhQRSeb3T
cool even in the hottest conditions. He had his own general which was borrowed8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0qUKFEITz
from the city: Eric Jilena, the patriarch and husband to Anna Jilena. Sitting8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTCuIOBU4o
behind him was his son, Alphonse, who was poised to take his father’s position.
The six main8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPJGwEDn9W
figures got down from their horses to walk up the red carpet while the others8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawUiGyKTvR
stayed where they were. A few feet from the King, each of them got down on one8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoW7LcTgov
knee then bowed their heads.
“Rise my8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7noVpRclyi
friends.” Malcom laughed. He walked down to greet them, his blue trimmed, white8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwgDZhYpgr
cape dragged on to the floor behind him. He stood each of their hands in turn,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexRtU6lIX
his royal signet out for everyone to see. While he got to Leida, she presented8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlHhrsIgfy
her cheek so he could kiss it. “I hope your travels were fair.”
“They were8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM476fqMzE
indeed.” Jira laughed, his voice fake, but the gleam in his eyes weren’t as he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwepLCKSXP7
gazed at the noblewomen standing in the line. “My mercenaries are in dire need8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dcocs1qZh
of food, drink and entertainment, as am I.”
“And they will8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7SnVoGbB
have them.” Malcolm chuckled. “And how are you General? Are you excited to be8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVgHlvODzY
back home?”
“I am my King.” Eric8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvXE7Icayd
bowed. “I have missed my wife and other children greatly.”
“And you8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF965GNXBp
Alphonse?” he turned to the general’s youngest son.
“Yes, my lord.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbyCUnVKrm
Alphonse bowed his head. “Though I’m afraid this weather will take some time to8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgp2HdpH54
get used to again.”
“I have food for8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ9gx0GgKw
you all inside.” Malcolm turned to step back towards the castle. “If you would8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBOxZ3Sjsr
please follow me.”
“Not yet my8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7KrvIXEFk
King.” Malakai placed his hand on the King’s shoulder. Vander involuntarily8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPjIBbif8o
went for his sword, but his grandfather’s glare kept his hand still. “We have a8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7lZaaELUP
surprise for you.” Malakai turned and shouted: “MAKE WAY FOR THE PRINCE!” All8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe0g01zAd4
at once, all those in attendance stepped aside and saluted. A carriage, unseen8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybuloqXDga
by everyone opened and Cuvera, along with two veiled women walked out. The last8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfHJHPsuzB
person out was General Jasper Valentin, Bree’s father.
Upon seeing his8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdXXK9R2Cy
father, Cuvera smiled. His sandy brown hair flowed in the wind as he locked the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdL8lzdsCb
same-colored eyes on his father’s. He was wearing a smart blue colored jacket8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtnHdDMJB0
with the royal family’s crest etched on the front. On his hand was another,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1dxsAmEfM
identical signet ring, to his father’s. He ran up to embrace his father. After8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfEUG4QYws
a moment the two of them broke apart, but Malcolm held onto his son’s arms.
“I wasn’t8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK0D9bglyN
expecting you for another week.” He gasped. “Why have you arrived so soon.”
“We met up with8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTVhCNeL0J
Lord Whiteson as he crossed the river, so we decided to go together. I left the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzISuYFVOP
main soldiers on the road as Malakai would be able to protect us.” He stepped8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq4dISM2y4
back to wave the two women forward. He wrapped his arms around the one wearing8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYtZ4jl26V
red and orange. “This lovely lady is my betrothed, Kiara.” She removed her8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8ZCBvSAo
veil, and everyone released their breath they didn’t know they were holding.
Her skin was a8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1YRBIG4Ty
deep brown color with vibrant golden eyes. Her dark brown hair was pulled back8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLFUs7SPr5
into a loose weave, but there were some strands framing her face. You could8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLSBCv7hig
tell that her body was that of a warrior: lithe, muscular, lethal. Vander could8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMMCZtT7Pb
easily see her twirling on the battlefield cutting people down left and right.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUywl3Qu1U
He secretly hoped Cuvera knew what he was in for. Unknown to everyone other8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV72vVSSzq2
than him, he could feel otherworldly power radiating from her that made him8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwPMP3dxcB
nervous. It felt as though he was staring at the sun. Even Shea whimpered from8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4yMYNKn76
behind him.
“It’s nice to8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND2mIOLHaT
meet you all.” She curtsied. Everyone bowed their heads in respect to their8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsQgdcGqsd
future queen. Malcolm walked up then kissed both her cheeks before embracing8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWAsXwmXK
her.
“It’s wonderful8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡernIfQyL9m
to meet you.” he laughed. “I hope my son has been treating you well on your8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJSc55zzdr
travels together?” Kiara wrapped her arms through Cuvera’s.
“He’s been8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWRLB17I8K
perfect.” She smiled. Her gazed flickered to Vander. Upon noticing him her eyes8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUkdyBiSup
widened then she whispered something into his ear. He nodded his head then8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZIWzdiGct
turned back to his father.
“There is one8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJYaCPUnqi
more person we’d like to introduce everyone too.” He motioned the mystery women8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4TMZuZJpB
forward. She was dressed similarly to Kiara except her uniform was yellow and8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRb4x2mAOG
silver. She stepped forward then removed her veil. Without waiting for anyone8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mwmMB1vqH
to introduce her, she introduced herself:
“My name is8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55lmZ16PwV
Eliza, Kiara’s younger sister and bodyguard.” She curtsied. “I hope to be of8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaJKoHgLGz
use to all of you here.” She looked over at Vander and the breath left his body8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zKwKY4af2
for a moment. She was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. She was8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniXL2GkN3H
smaller than Kiara but had more defined muscles. Her brown hair was tied back8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJMPbgxJ45
into a tight ponytail, her silver eyes looked at him as if she could see8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQx2oatLoz
everything.
“It would be our8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOSWegAajD
honor to have you.” Charles answered.
“Let us go8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCkEbCJCT9
inside.” Cuvera offered. “I’m tired from my travels and I’m sure the wardens8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkyLqghnJv
are as well.”
“Of course.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry2Qg34VZp
Malcolm grinned. “Bernard made sure everyone’s rooms were made up properly and8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1hZKEGVI4
we have spared no expense to have your men as comfortable down in the city as8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxcoRiTkji
possible. I trust I don’t need to explain the rules?”
“No sir,”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMFOxYz7gR
Whitesun grinned. “We remember what happened last time.”
“Excellent.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC82AdHN2c
Malcolm clapped his hands. “Come my son, there is much I must talk with you8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOoW19uUwM
about. My dear Kiara, you should come to so we can get the chance to get to8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQacJaYjCb
know each other.”
“Yes father.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJIau7E9KN
Malcolm laughed at that but wrapped his arms around her shoulders and escorted8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw782tUpCq
her in. Eliza followed close behind unwilling to leave her sister alone in8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBEiJHRFDF
foreign territory. When Cuvera walked past, he gripped Vander’s shoulder.
“Meet me8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj5WVgz157
tonight.” He whispered into his ear. Vander nodded his head.
Soon all the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20JtrRJu2D
nobles disappeared back into the castle while their guards were taken into the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJQfIEC6k
city to their lodgings. While they were here it meant more overtime for the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKKOhiRQvk
Blades and city guards because they had to make sure they behaved themselves8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKgiN6PiTn
with the locals. The only ones left other than Charles and Vander were the two8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHuH8uTyla
generals who seemed to be discussing something with Alphonse. A moment later8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlvBmFWX2p
they split up and both Eric and his son went into the castle, likely to see8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmIAbGj9Qz
Anna. However, Jasper walked over to the two of them.
“Commander.” His8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGNqK2hjF
voice was curt, angry.
“General.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7vCyhNMgk
Charles tried to hide the disdain in his voice.
“I heard my8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w0SDNI6fP
daughter went to see you.” Jasper glared down at Vander. He shrugged in8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWKzqfxIcK
response. Suddenly Jasper grabbed Vander by the neck causing Shea to jump to8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YGAFPfO3A
her feet snarling. “You stay away from my daughter, or I will make sure you8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqrLIp0rLq
never see the light of day again.”
“Are you8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoiLICbVoI
threatening my grandson, General?” Charles asked. Suddenly Alexander and a few8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4YziTR34S
other Blades surrounded him with their hands on their swords.
“Not a threat.”8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm75ctnEDS
He said. “A warning.” He studied Vander for a second before pushing him away.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi6MgH9OzU
“If I find out you even breathe in her direction, you will regret it.”
“No more than the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19iDd5njpU
King regrets making you a General I’m sure.” Vander choked out. “I’m sure the8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIolsovZHu
prince would find this very interesting.”
“I don’t know8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirEoyaTTpr
what he sees in you, you worthless trash.” With that he pushed past them8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU3LLGpl2t
disappearing inside the castle.
“He’s really8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVodOlv79FY
possessive of his daughter isn’t he?” Alex asked.
“He’s possessive8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRQd7KoqFl
of the power she could give him through breeding.” Vander sighed. He rubbed his8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9lasvD712
neck to try and rub the feeling back into it.
“Vander if he8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZ4de64L7
touches you again, kill him.” Charles growled. “I will deal with the fall back,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVdLGmnpjK
but he will not touch you again without dire consequences.”
